Member-only story
when summer arrives, I will surrender my skin to the sun and it’s rays, just like back in those days, when you breathed more heat into my summer nights, and lay your body down close to mine
remember you told me, to pour my heart into your hands, saying you were that better man — that I was silently hoping for, after you there would be no more, I could let go of who came before
I got lost in your eyes, I was blind to all the lies, I wanted to believe — that you were the best thing to ever happen to me, I was reckless with my own heart, should have seen that from the start
a different day another season, one million and one more reasons, to stop believing in life after love, reminiscing on the love I lost, these broken records and broken hearts, keep wedging joy and I apart
I could burn every city down, losing myself dragging my soul out through my mouth, every time it feels useless to me now, but I know — that is my only light, that’s my breath and my whole life, I know more than anything — I’m the best friend i’ll always need
so this time when summer arrives, I’ll thank the Universe I’m alive, to feel every ray of sun — penetrating my insides, maybe I’ll pour my heart back into my chest, understand I have been blessed, I can feel more than just hopeless
